A song about how we don't seem to ever live and love as well as we know how to.  Listen to that inner voice. Let it be your guide. Or stay miserable. Its your choice.

Lyrics:

There's a little voice,
Sits in the back of my mind,
Whispers to me all the time,
Tells me that life is divine,
Tells me that life is sublime,
But I don't listen at all,
How can this all be a ball?
The shit hits the fan,
Then the wall
I built round myself to avoid,
The world,
It's so big, I'm so small,
I don't wanna change,
Life is hard,
But the voice in my head's undeterred,
Why, when it's always unheard,
Does it keep
Trying to teach me
(Trying to teach me)
How to be happy and unstressed
(Trying to teach me)
How to be one with all that is
(Trying to teach me)
Why do I act so unimpressed?
(Trying to teach me)
Why do I never acquiese?

Trying To Teach Me (Demo)

Are you moving on or staying put? A song for those who feel the need to grow.... ;)

Calendar #2 (Demo)

A song about apathy, fear and procrastination. It's a demo. If I can ever be bothered to have the courage to record it properly I might do it later, when I get around to it.

Sooner Or Later (Demo)

Nobody does anything because of you. It's all about them.
You don't do anything because of someone else. It's all about you. Take some responsibility, goddamit!

Calendar #1 (Demo)

Hey you...yeah, you.  Get out of the way! Whose way? YOUR way, dummy, go on, go, move, skidaddle!!!

Get Up & Go (Demo)

Crazy is all fun and games, until somebody gets hurt. Knowing when to bail is an essential skill in the world of relationships.

Evr'y Summer Girl (Demo)

You got dumped. It happens. Get drunk, do some drugs, sleep around a bit, whatever you need to do; but above all, have some self respect. You'll live. Now stop crying, get over it and move on. You're bumming everyone out.

Forgotten (Demo)

A physicist laments his treatment at the hands of an uncaring lover. But whatever happened to her...?

We weren't serious when we did this.

I'm pretty sure we weren't serious anyway. 

Schroedinger's Girlfriend (Demo)

Lullaby

Welcome to a poor reflection of the inside of my head...everything is a work in progress and nothing should be taken to be a final version.  That goes for all the songs on this page as well.
